Abstract
Ultraluminous infrared galaxies have been claimed to be a significant component of the star formation at z>1. The most luminous of these galaxies are detectable as sources in the submm wavebands with instruments such as Herschel or SCUBA -2. I will discuss recent work with SCUBA -2 and ALMA to investigate the properties of this population, the physical processes driving their extreme luminosities and their relation to galaxy populations at the present day.
